Hello,
I am getting freaked out, after driving approximately 20 miles and stoping, for the past 2 days, I am seeing a small cloud (more like a couple of whisps of smoke vs a "cloud") of white/gray smoke exit from under the hood. I have 2 oil leaks, 1from the lowest point of the oil pan (where I accidentily tagged someone elses roadkill raccoon) and the second from the oil lines to the Amsoil Bypass filteration system.
I donkt want to pretend to know what the culprit is and catch on fire @ 65 on the highway but here is what I hope is happening:
-after driving at either 45 or 65 for 20 miles, I go into inner city stop-n-go for about 3 miles. It is after this that I have experienced the "smoke", I am hoping that since the oil is puddling right behind the fan, when the fan kicks on it is blowing a drip or two, which in turn is making it's way to either the exhaust manifold or the turbo serface. I am going to eliminate both leaks this weekend and need this car on the road.
Any thoughts on this are welcome...I feel like the dumbest person on the planet for continuing to drive it without kn owing what is actually at fault as I generally believe that smoke is what is present after fire. Please help!
Just to add the the physical discription, the smoke does look like exhaust, if that makes since to anyone?
